Capstan
CIG008- Edition 2,000
Capstan
This brand was another from the WD & HO Wills stable of products. Capstan available in brown packs full strenght and the blue packs medium strenght. There was probably a ‘mild’ as well, although we have no record of this one. We know of cork tipped, medium plain, medium, and several others.
Capstan was available in paper packs of 5’s and card sleeve packs of 10’s and 20’s.
The product was manufactured in Gt. Britain as well as Australia, Hong Kong, Malaysia, India and Ireland.
This brand like many others, Players, Senior Service etc., had a naval theme. The Capstan logo signifies a capstan as used to hoist the anchor on board ships and for moving heavy weights by means of ropes, cables and chains.
